“Tragically, most of us have been taught that duty,
not delight, is the way to glorify God. We have not been taught that delight in
God is our duty! Being satisfied with God is not an optional add-on to the real
stuff of Christian duty. It is the most basic demand of all. ‘Delight yourself
in the LORD’ (Psalm 37:4 is not a suggestion, but a command. So are: ‘Serve the
LORD with gladness’ (Psalm 100:2) and, ‘Rejoice in the LORD always (Philippians4:4).”
– John Piper, The Godward Life
